tidy ~ janet (@tidest)

@ity it is worth keeping in mind that i can only speak from my own point of view, which i do realized is decently privileged
here in the states, cash will probably be an option for the rest of my life at least, unless something massive changes.. hell we have trouble getting rid of pointless coinage

from what you're proposing, if cash isn't an option, i'd need to be tethered to my phone to purchase anything on the out and about
i don't much like the idea of always being forced to carry my phone
what's been suggested only kills my ability to make that decision

and atop that, it implies that your phone has a data connection all the time, so even if i had my phone on me, i oftentimes still wouldn't be able to buy things, my data connection all too often fails when i go into buildings and i refuse to connect to public wifi

it only seems like a massive loss to me. i suppose we could go back to using paper checks, but even then, you need banks to back those...
